SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

On Paradise Island, Sofia:

-All of us here know that there is not a single argument for you to be disqualified as CEO. Your work has been praiseworthy. However, those corrupt people only think about getting a good slice of the pie and that is why they do it,” said Benjamin.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

-Miss, I’m sorry to bother you, but outside is the Judge Rector, asking for Don Benjamin and for you. He has arrived, accompanied by two prosecutors,” my assistant interrupted us.

-Please send them in, Helen,” said Benjamin to my assistant.

-Obey! -I ordered, supporting his decision.

When the prosecutor and the Municipal Judge saw them enter, they tried to escape from the courtroom. However, our escorts did not allow it. For this reason, the doors were secured to prevent them from fleeing.

In a fraction of a minute, the headquarters of the Shipping Company was surrounded by vehicles of the public forces, requested by the Judge Rector and the two Prosecutors. They took the Prosecutor, the Judge, the Secretary and the agents hired by them for this action.

Reyner, Jose David and Ezequiel were held preventively, because they had to clarify who bribed these officials, so that they would incur in this crime. In addition, to make the clarification to Sofia, Noah and Benjamin, that they will dictate an injunction, to protect the workers from this conflict between partners.

In view of the police mobilization and the detainees, the news of this event spread like wildfire throughout the island and surrounding areas. All the networks and media mentioned this scandal, lowering the value of the Naviera’s shares in the stock market.

In protest and support for the CEO of the shipping company, women were the first to comment and express their support for her. It seemed inconceivable to them that in this century and at this stage of life, they should be discriminated against for the simple fact of being a single mother.

[Whoever started this discrimination should go to jail,” chatted one Internet user.]

[I agree with you, they should put them all in jail” expressed another, supporting the opinion of the previous one].

[The 21st century and still people with such archaic ideas!” read another follower].

[Up my Sophia, we are with you,” declared one of her followers].

[“We are with you, CEO!” declared another follower].

And so there were thousands and thousands of comments in a fraction of a minute supporting Sofia as a single mother and CEO. There were very few who chose to support Reyner and family.

[Parasites like Yoly, arrogant and full of arrogance, are the ones who should be punished for being the way they are,” said another user.]

In this sense, there were responses from Yoly, who was harshly attacked by Sofia’s followers. In addition, she lost control of the situation, being threatened by the most risky and reckless internet users.

In Ciudad La Rosa, Rafael:

-My God! -I exclaimed aloud, feeling miserable having doubted Sofia.

“I agree with these internauts. It pains me to have allowed Reyner’s words to make me doubt her, to the point of leaving the Island without saying goodbye to her family,” I thought with regret.

-Ring! Ring!

-Tell me, Martin,” I answered, feeling annoyed.

-Did you read the news? -my friend asked, overwhelmed.

-Yes! And it bothers me, having been a puppet of your father,” I exclaimed irritated, adding, “by allowing him to sow doubt in me.

-I’m sorry, for having allowed you to be put in such a trap! -I found out what they were looking for a few minutes before you entered the house, so I didn’t have time to call you.

-There are no problems between the two of us, because I know you perfectly well and I know you wouldn’t be capable of something like that against me,” I affirmed.

-Thank you, Rafael! I also wanted to inform you that when Sofia graduated, she stayed here in Ciudad La Rosa. She did not leave immediately for the Island,” he confirmed.

It was after the birth of her children that she returned to assume the position of CEO, which she has held since then,” he assured me.

-Who gave you that information? -I asked curiously.

-Sophia’s assistant. Helen has been an unconditional friend, since my teenage years, because we studied together in elementary school and then high school,” he answered.

-Do you trust her completely? -I insisted, even though the detective I hired assured me that in three days he would have all the information.

-Yes, my friend! She is, like you, one of the people who knows me best on the island. Actually, since I was a child I have not been very sociable, that’s why I have very few friends,” he told me.

-Perfect! The same thing happened to me. I don’t know if it was my mother’s fault, but I preferred to be alone than at parties or meetings, where my mother was looking for a candidate to be her daughter-in-law,” I clarified.

-And according to my friend, she was at her graduation party when she was drugged and raped. Apparently, it was someone who took advantage and added some drug to her drink.

-Doesn’t that sound familiar? -I asked hesitantly.

-Remember that Sofia wasn’t raped, she voluntarily gave herself to you. You were a kind of savior,” Martin added.

-I don’t know, Martin! But I have my doubts, and now even more. The triplets and their enormous resemblance to me come to mind,” I confessed, taking my unoccupied hand to my head to smooth my hair back, a gesture that characterizes me when I feel nervous.

-Finally, hadn’t you hired a detective? So that he could locate your famous… What did you call her? Ahhh, right! “Goddess of love” -he replied.

-I thought about it, but it was when the rust problems arose in the crops, then Diana’s birth, and I forgot about it,” I said. “A few days ago, Leonel made some investigations, in which he couldn’t find any trace of the children’s father either.

“Now, I hired a detective who I have on the island, finding out more about her. He asked me for three days to give me an answer.

-In my friend’s opinion, Sofia is an honest, honest woman, dedicated exclusively to her children, her mother and the shipping company. What’s more, since she arrived, she has never met a boyfriend, or a little friend, or anything of the sort. She is a woman of integrity,” Martin said with determination.

-God! That’s very different from what your father says about her,” I affirmed, sadly…
